At that time, I was also considering employment when I took this major. After all, the history of science and technology is a relatively unpopular major, and I have some concerns. After one year's study, I have gradually got some understanding of this major and made plans for future employment, so I want to express my humble opinion on related issues.
As a comprehensive discipline spanning natural science and social science, it is a liberal arts major, but it was awarded a science degree when it graduated. Judging from the employment situation of senior students who graduated from this major, some went to work in enterprises, some chose to take doctoral examinations, and some worked as counselors in three universities. From the actual situation, this major has no or few corresponding positions in state-owned enterprises and foreign enterprises, but it is not necessary to be too pessimistic. On the one hand, things are constantly changing and social development is changing with each passing day. Judging from the employment forms of domestic majors in recent years, some popular majors may not be what they used to be when they graduated. They may have studied architecture and ended up in the insurance industry. Sometimes, the employment prospect is a macro concept, but it is not the key factor to really implement it in graduation employment. For example, the employment prospects of the Internet industry are good now, but the ability is insufficient, so there is still nowhere to go; Botany seems to have no way out, but as long as you study professionally enough, you can still find a job you like, and it pays well. Sometimes finding a job has little to do with your major, but you still have to look at your interest and ability.
In short, I personally think that employment = study and practice during graduate school. If you are confused about employment, I suggest you go to websites such as Worry-Free Future and Zhaopin to see your favorite job and recruitment requirements. If you want to be a teacher at school, go to the school website to see the recruitment conditions. If you want to take an examination of civil servants, you must learn to apply for theory and conduct tests. If you have no background, you can only make a lot of money by hard work and luck.
